Quote:Authorities have identified the shooter as Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, of Murfreesboro. Little is known about Samson or his motivation - other than that he is a black male, and that he wore a clown mask during the assault, before turning his gun on himself. According to the Washington Times, Samson has been discharged from the hospital and will soon be charged with murder and attempting murder for the attack, police said.

Samson is reportedly a Sudanese immigrant. Screenshots of his Facebook profile have been circulating on Twitter:

On a hunch I checked what the main religion in Sudan is. This is right off the Wiki:

Quote:Religion plays an important role in Sudan, with (97%) of the country's population adhering to Islam. The vast majority of Muslims in Sudan are Sunni belonging to Maliki school of jurisprudence.

One woman was killed and seven other people were hurt after a shooting suspect, identified as 25-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson, opened fire at a Tennessee church Sunday, police said.

Samson, identified as African-American, is suspected of opening fire at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, southeast of Nashville, just after 11 a.m. He fired “multiple rounds,” police said in a news conference.

Metropolitan Nashville Police Department tweeted that Samson had been released from the hospital and will be charged with murder, in addition to attempted murder.

A church usher, identified as Robert Engle, 22, confronted the masked gunman at one point and was pistol-whipped, causing "significant injury around his head," police added. They said Engle went to his own car, grabbed a pistol and headed back into the church.

Law enforcement confirmed Samson, a legal U.S. resident, brought two guns to the church Sunday. They said he immigrated from Sudan in 1996.

It was initially reported that the gunman shot himself, although police said it's unclear whether he shot himself or the gun unintentionally discharged during his scuffle with Engle.

Police said that Burnette Chapel churchgoers recognized Samson as attending their church one to two years ago, but noted he hadn't attended services "in quite a while."

The woman who was shot and killed in the church parking lot, identified as Melanie Smith, 39, was walking to her car when she was hit, police said.

The gunman, with his blue vehicle still running in the parking lot, then entered the back of the church and shot six people – three women and three men – who were rushed to the hospital, police said.

Police identified those being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and in stable condition as: William Jenkins, 83; Marlene Jenkins, 84; Peggy Span, 65; and Linda Bush, 68. David Span, 60, was also being treated at Vanderbilt, but was listed as in critical but stable condition.

Katherine Dickerson, 64, was in stable condition at Skyline Medical Center. Engle was also being treated at Skyline.

Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson called Engle a "hero" for his actions at the church Sunday.

Several witnesses claimed the shooter was wearing a “clown mask” when he opened fire, but police said what he wore more closely resembled a ski mask.

The FBI is responding to the incident, but is not leading the investigation at this point. Police said the Justice Department is looking into the shooting and contemplating opening a civil rights case.

Megan Barry, mayor of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, said in a statement that the shooting "is a terrible tragedy for our city. My heart aches for the family and friends of the deceased as well as for the wounded victims and their loved ones."

The church has a weekly service starting at 10 a.m. Sunday. The surrounding area was closed off as police investigated the situation.

Fucker was at least wearing the proper mask.

"Become the creator", "whatever you say, goes" is pure satanism, as is the idea of shooting up a church wearing a clown mask. As well, "Emanuel Kidega Samson" is not a muslim name. African muslims have muslim names with few exceptions, so he is probably an animist or a wayward Christian.

He was an African migrant, period. One of the many quietly brought to US shores, by Barry (and allies or predecessors).

The number of African migrants currently residing (mostly legally, thanks to Barry and the Clintons) in the US, would shock most people, as it is a number much higher than local people usually think. Most of them involved in the unsavory kind of stuff that the DSK (and his accuser') case unveiled...

Sounds like he was just losing it. Mental health is a serious issue. Not taken very seriously within African communities.

David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage. 1 Samuel 18:27

Read the news link from OP and I'm dejected that the "1 Dead" referenced in the thread title wasn't the shooter. Sad.

Man was this flushed down the MSM memory hole or what. I know shit like this is obvious to us by now, but man does it piss me off to see it time and again. White guy shoots up a black church and next thing you know the Overton Window shifts 10 miles to the left resulting in a purge of Confederate flags and statues around the nation. Black (Sudanese) guy shoots up a white church and what? Muh police brutality and kneeling at the football game drown it out. How 'bout them refugees fam? How 'bout that BLM? Give me a fucking break. I would've really liked to see how the MSM would've handled it had the number of deaths been equal to or greater than the Charleston shooting. They would've still found a way around it. Those scumbags never cease to amaze me.

Thought this happened today and was thinking “probably would’ve never heard about this story if I wasn’t on the forum”...then I realized that this happened almost a year ago. Never saw or heard anything about it

There are some weekends with 10+ mass shootings done by blacks and the mass media does not give a shit. But woe there is one white bloke who goes berserk - they won't stop yapping about it for 10 years. "Remember Dylan....?" Meanwhile 100 Samsons and Tyrones have been shooting up shit for various reasons.

Yeah - Samson is unlikely to be Muslim unless he converted. Anything could have set him off - even some perceived wrong in the church, a girl rejecting him there - does not matter. The motivation is likely not very deep. He had also 2 decades to imbue himself with plenty of racial greviance.

The Chicago gangs simply need to up their game if they want to get national media attention.
10 dead in one weekend isn't enough. 20 dead in one weekend isn't enough.
The Chicago gangs will need a body count of 50+ in one weekend to get the sinister media's attention...
